Volunteers from local CAMRA branches decide which pubs make it into the guide, having visited eligible establishments throughout 2021 to check the quality of their beers.
The Good Beer Guide is the authority on the greatest places for a pint, so here are 11 of the best pubs in Chesterfield and its surrounding areas according to CAMRA.
9. Nag’s Head Inn- Newbold
The guide says: “Built in 1760, this inn is Grade II listed. It retains its central bar layout, surrounded by four separate rooms, one of them with an open fire. There is a Tuesday discount on cask ales, and traditional cider is available in the summer months.” Photo: Google
10. Arkwright Arms- Sutton cum Duckmanton
A winner of numerous local CAMRA awards, the guide says: “A changing range of 10 guest ales, many from local micros, is complemented by 12 ciders and four perries. Beer festivals are held at Easter and bank holidays, with mini-events throughout the year. Quality food is served until mid-evening Monday to Saturday, and until mid-afternoon on Sunday.” Photo: Google
